The workshop aims to foster exchange between participants and organizers,
working in the fields of coral science, restoration, aquaculture and marine
resource management. The workshop is comprised of hands-on work, such as
rearing coral larvae from daylight spawner *Diploria
labyrinthiformis*, practicing
the art of micro-fragmentation and outplanting techniques, as well as
theoretical sessions on how to select outplanting sites and monitor
restoration efforts.

We are looking forward to an inspiring and fruitful seminar and workshop!
